Jonah Lehrer on Buildings, Health and Creativity | Head Case - WSJ.com
For thousands of years, people have talked about architecture in terms of aesthetics. Whether discussing the symmetry of the Parthenon or the cladding on the latest Manhattan skyscraper, they focus first on how the buildings look, on their particular surfaces and style. Today, it turns out, the real cutting edge of architecture has to do with the psychology of buildings, not just their appearance.Bloom: new ways to see and communicate

88 Extreme Examples of Bokeh Photography | Inspiration | instantShift
The quality of the blur has come to be known as “bokeh”. Bokeh in terms of photography referring the area in the photo which are out of focus light to increase beautiful and dramatic image. The origin of the term is from the Japanese word “romaji” (english characters) is spelled “boke” (pronounced bo-keh) and which means “fuzzy”.

Artist Sagaki Keita was born in 1984 and lives and works in Tokyo.

Greetings, Part Two! I first wrote a post for this blog back in 2008, but never published it, for reasons that elude me but almost certainly had to do with deadlines, tea breaks, or the arcana of technology. I have resurrected it here 'cause it's still woefully relevant--iainmccaig.com is still 'Coming Soon'--though wonder of wonders, my blog has stumbled onto the stage at last, thanks to years of gentle prodding by the ever-patient J. J., praise be.

i love everything about this beautiful home i saw on mixr . can you imagine having a lovely staircase like this, and then having it take you along its winding steps to all of this ? this 1970′s townhouse renovated by Swedish interior designer Marie Olsson Nylander , is pretty much a decor dream come true for me. i love all the white, and rustic woods with dashes of bright colors and eclectic, vintage-inspired home furnishings. yep, this is my stairway to heaven.
